The Grasshopper is a type of critter that can be found when destroying grass plants and moves by hopping along the ground identically to slimes. The Grasshopper has only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.
The Grasshopper can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Grasshopper Cage). Once crafted, the Grasshopper cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).
The Grasshopper can be used as bait for fishing, with 10% bait power.
The Grasshopper can be spawned by the Grasshopper Statue, however statue-spawned critters cannot be caught with any Bug Net, and will disappear in a puff of smoke when the player attempts to do so.
On the
Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version, there is a 1/400 (0.25%) chance for a Gold Grasshopper to spawn in place of an ordinary one.

Notes
Vegetation qualifying for Grasshopper spawns
Mushroom
- The chance for a Grasshopper to spawn is 1/100 (1%) when destroying short grass plants or Mushrooms, and 1/50 (2%) when destroying tall grass plants. It can only spawn if there are no more than 4 other Grasshoppers currently nearby.[1]
- Only plants on regular, pure grass qualify. Grasshoppers cannot spawn from grass plants or Mushrooms growing on other types of grass, like Hallowed grass.
Trivia
- The
Bestiary entry for the Grasshopper: "It leaps tall blades of grass in a single bound. Fish are fairly attracted to these."
